The Society for Education and Knowledge (GBW) is an association of “people interested in education and knowledge - especially teachers at schools and universities”. It was founded in June 2010 as a reaction to the path taken since the PISA debate of economizing education and emerged from the so-called Frankfurt Objections (2005). Their declared goal is the "rethinking of schools and universities in the name of education and knowledge."

The executive board as well as the extended advisory board consists for the most part of educational scientists and specialist didactics , supplemented by some academic advisors and philosophers .

The GBW achieves external impact through a series of events - such as the incompetence conferences at Frankfurt's Goethe University - and its website, which an editorial team is responsible for maintaining and updating. In 2014, the GBW published the German version of an open letter to Andreas Schleicher against the school performance examination ("testeritis") in the school system, which was reflected in the feature pages.

In addition to current dates and events, specialist articles and basic texts are gathered there that reflect the position of the GBW members.
